Apologies if there is a thread already addressing this question...I struck out in my search.
Thanks!
Good base. Couple of minor things to consider decision matrix:
You need to regularly cover 3 bases (if you are narrow body). 75 IAD, 15 BWI, 10% DCA. Don’t hold me to those percentages. That may affect where you want live if you move to the base. You can avoid BWI with good success if you live Wear/South of base if you are a line holder. Lots of guys who live in MD love BWI and eat up those trips.
The employee bus to the IAD ops is about 40 minutes. Walk to a bus stop, bus, walk through KCM to people mover, then 5min walk to ops.
If you believe management, they’ve read room for growth in the 737 at IAD. Right now there are only 3 banks. Seems most of them are the early bank. Lots of room to grow at the 1200 and 1700 bank for NB.
All antidotal observations.
